Skip to comments.$500 bonus for a murder-free year? Chicago suburb considers rewarding cops
Posted on 01/09/2013 6:01:57 AM PST by Daffynition
CHICAGO -- Police officers in a Chicago suburb may be in line for $500 bonuses as a reward for a murder-free 2012.
With a 3-0 vote, the city of Aurora's finance committee on Tuesday approved the plan, which is expected to cost about $144,500.
(Excerpt) Read more at usnews.nbcnews.com ...
**While sweeps targeting the most serious criminal suspects and gang leaders helped, Police Chief Greg Thomas said that community policing was key.**
This presupposes that police and policing has an effect on the murder rate. Police are, in general, armed revenue agents. They do not deter crime unless they happen to be standing there when the perpetrator is about to commit one. Then, the perpetrator just waits for the police to leave. Police are a reactive force, not a preventive force. A better approach would be to arm all the citizens and train them when and how to use their weapons. THAT would deter crime.
How exactly do cops stop murder? Are they psychic?
Paying someone a bonus if they stop an act committed by another? Sure. Good luck with that. Common sense is fleeing out the window ever more rapidly as our thoughts become influenced more and more by an insane left.
Geeez, that's like an Insurance Company giving you a policy for $1 that pays 5 Million if you reached the age of 150.
For the most part, police can't stop, or prevent murders. They are only good for investigating them after the fact.
No free society wants to put their police in the posture of PREVENTING crimes, unless they want to live in a police state.
Reminds me of Dilbert where a company paid programmers to find " bugs" in the code they wrote....
Aurora knows a sure bet! They know they won't have to pay out a dime!
Why do I feel that this Community is not one of the real hot spots for crime in Chicago in the first place?
What's happening on the South Side.
The year Chicago has no murders is the same year that we'll see the Obamadork/felon/liar's genuine birth certificate.
Why? police can prevent crime...all they can do is respond and clean up the mess.
Why? police can prevent crime...all they can do is respond and clean up the mess.
Why? police can prevent crime...all they can do is respond and clean up the mess.
911 caller: I just murdered my wife.
911 Operator: Thanks a lot moron! We had a murder-free year in the bag until you called. Why the hell couldn't you have called us BEFORE the murder so we could have prevented it??? We had no idea you were going to murder her.
Look, just put her in 55 gallon oil drum and dump her somewhere. We don't want to know anything about it. As far as we're concerned, you NEVER called!
LMAO .. pretty safe bet
>>Police are a reactive force, not a preventive force.<<
I call them janitors. They arrive *after-the-fact* and fill out the paperwork, so the crime scene can be cleaned-up.
Already happened.
Well, there were no murders in 2012 in that suburb but it seems silly to hinge a bonus on no murders for 2013. Can't we just hire qualified people to do a good job at a fair wage, and stop all this bonus stuff which may or may not — I really don't know — impact on the quality of the police work?
"Police are a reactive force, not a preventive force."
A little oversimplified I submit but a good point. The police are still a deterrent to the extent that some people may not commit crimes even out of the presence of law enforcement for fear that the crime will get solved and they'll end up in jail. But I absolutely agree with you that armed citizens on-the-spot is a more powerful and immediate deterrent.
Looks like a lot of Chicagoans are going to commit suicide.
Didn't think so....
Thanks for the link :^)
More taxpayer dollars down the old democrat rat-hole.
Libs call it "investing in the community."
"Nope, nobody killed or shot today! Don't know where ya got that idea from......."
When police are focused on the usual suspects (gangs and trouble makers) w/o politically correct, race baiting concerns, crime does go down.
Murder is an esclation of hood activity. Rudy G. used it to bring New York city under control. Bloomers uses that tatic as well. Gangs move out either to prison or to a city where stupids are in charge and they can rob, murder and pillage w/o concern.

Easy to make and interesting, but I really couldn't distinguish the flavors well. I was in a minority, however, because 3 of my friends loved them and asked for the recipe. I also didn't read the recipe all the way through (oops!) and didn't see they needed to be either warm or cold. I made them for a bake sale, and room temp was not the way to go. I served them cold to my friends.
I liked the flavor combination with these but they were a bit hard to cut as the crust was so firm and the pumpkin portion so fluffy. Also I had hoped for more cranberry flavor. But they went over well at the latest office potluck.

Our first visit to Morocco and we wanted to stay in a traditional road in the centre of the city. The riad arranged the pick up from the airport (necessary due to the otherwise very difficult task of locating the road when you first arrive). The drive itself was an experience of its own through alleys and streets barely wide enough for the car, let alone the people walking and trading in them. Our welcome was comprehensive and friendly and our room comfortable. If you choose to eat there then the meals are excellent. We also enjoyed a traditional Hammam, scrub and massage there, again with very friendly staff. Overall a very enjoyable stay and a place we would happily recommend to others. Great location for exploring the city.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The riad Karmela has 19 bedrooms and family appartments located within 3 houses and courtyards connecting together. You can also enjoy a hammam, massages, summer jacuzzi, large terasse. We are located 8 mn walk from the Pace Djemma El Fnaa and 1 mn from the souks. ... more less

Between the humour, I learned a lot from her work ethics, her dedication, and her approach to problems in the workplace. I really respect some of the statements she made.
The only criticism I have is that when the last page comes, you feel a little disappointed that the fun's over. But that's when you flip back to the start of the book again and go through some of many remarkable moments.
If you are a fan of her writing, her TV show, or her humour, you will definitely find this book entertaining. Thanks for writing such a great book, Ms. Fey!
At times, a laugh out loud collection of anecdotal tales ranging from youth to present day. What is revealed are the trials, tribulations, frustrations and truly funny events that are a part of becoming a struggling comedian to a larger than life actor/writer for SNL and 30 Rock. Much of it done with tongue-in-cheek, dry humour.
This memoir is like a shotgun going off...it sprays its load over a wide area, creating chaos (in this case, funny chaos) in a wide swarth. If I had any regret, it would be that there was no mention of her Oscar appearance with Steve Martin ( "Don't fall in love with me" )...one of my favourite Oscar moments.
If you like Tina Fey you'll like this.
A real treat...I enjoyed every moment of this wonderful book. 5 Stars.
Ray Nicholson
I didn't want to put it down! The only bad thing is, it's too short! Almost 300 pages I believe, and it's so good, that you just speed right through it! 'Bosseypants' is very well written, charming, funny, and you really get a glimps as to how down to earth Tina Fey is. Really recommend this book!
Well done Tina! :)))
We learn about her childhood, her family--especially her father--and her career choices. We learn about her eventual association with Second City in Chicago and how that led to Saturday Night Live, and ultimately, 30 Rock.
She talks only obliquely about her husband, Jeff Richmond. Not that I wanted (or ever want) any intimate details, but I expected her to perhaps describe their first meeting at Second City Chicago, or when and how they decided to marry. I expected her to mention his contribution to 30 Rock as producer and most certainly as composer. He is, to be sure, an incredibly talented musician. You'll find none of this. It's as if she and Jeff made a deal in which she agreed not to talk about him very much. There's certainly an entire chapter--or two--gone missing. We basically learn of him that he hates to fly, does all the driving in their family, and as near as I can tell, accompanied her on her honeymoon.
In short, Bossypants is not so much autobiographical as it is anecdotal. If you were expecting to get to know Tina Fey better, you won't. The impression you had of her when you first bought the book, will be basically the same one you have when you finally close it.
It is, nevertheless, a great little book.

In object-based coding, bit allocation is performed at the object level and temporal rates of different objects may vary. The proposed algorithm deals with these two issues when coding multiple video objects (MVOs). The proposed algorithm is able to successfully achieve the target bit rate, effectively code arbitrarily shaped MVOs with different temporal rates, and maintain a stable buffer level

The high-level synthesis process involves three interdependent and NP-complete optimization problems: (i) the operation scheduling, (ii) the resource allocation, and (iii) the controller synthesis. Evolutionary algorithms have been effectively applied to high level synthesis in presence conflicting design objectives for finding good tradeoffs in the design space. However, so far the design space exploration has been performed using single-objective evolutionary algorithms with an ad hoc fitness function to achieve the desired tradeoff between the objectives. Recently we proposed a framework based on multi-objective genetic algorithms to perform a fully automated design space exploration. In this paper we focus on the choice of the solution representations that can be used to perform the design space exploration with multi-objective genetic algorithms. In particular we consider two specific representations and compare them on a set of benchmark problems. Our results suggest that they have different biases on the search space that make them more effective in different problems and design subspaces. Accordingly, we present a preliminary investigation on a new representation that exploits the advantages of both of them.

Space Acquisitions:
Challenges Facing DOD as it Changes Approaches to Space Acquisitions
GAO-16-471T: Published: Mar 9, 2016. Publicly Released: Mar 9, 2016.

(202) 512-4841

What GAO Found
Most major space programs have experienced significant cost and schedule increases. For instance, program costs for the Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite program, a protected satellite communications system, have grown 116 percent as of our latest review, and its first satellite was launched more than 3 years late. For the Space Based Infrared System High, a missile warning satellite program, costs grew almost 300 percent and its first satellite was launched roughly 9 years late. Last year, we reported that contract costs for the Global Positioning System (GPS) ground system, designed to control on-orbit GPS satellites, had more than doubled and the program had experienced a 4-year delay. The delivery of that ground system is now estimated to be delayed another 2 years, for a cumulative 6-year delay. Some DOD officials say even that is an optimistic timeline. Though steps have been taken to improve acquisition management in space, problems with GPS show that much more work is needed, especially since DOD is considering going in new directions for space programs.
Right now, DOD is at a crossroads for space. Fiscal constraints and increasing threats—both environmental and adversarial—to space systems have led DOD to consider alternatives for acquiring and launching space-based capabilities, such as: disaggregating large satellites into multiple, smaller satellites or payloads; relying on commercial satellites to host government payloads; and procuring certain capabilities, such as bandwidth and ground control, as services instead of developing and deploying government-owned networks or spacecraft.
This year, GAO's work on space acquisitions continued to show that DOD faces several major challenges as it undertakes efforts to change its approaches to space acquisitions. Our work assessed a range of issues including DOD's analysis supporting its decisions on future weather satellites, space leadership, and the introduction of competition into space launch acquisitions. These and other studies surfaced several challenges:
First, though DOD is conducting analyses of alternatives to support decisions about the future of space programs, there are gaps in cost and other data needed to weigh the pros and cons of changes to space systems.
Second, most changes being considered today will impact ground systems and user equipment, but these systems continue to be troubled by management and development issues.
Third, leadership for space acquisitions is still fragmented, which will likely hamper the implementation of new acquisition approaches, especially those that stretch across satellites, ground systems and user equipment.
Why GAO Did This Study
DOD is shifting its traditional approach to space acquisitions, bolstering its protection of space systems, and engaging with more commercial providers. Given the time and resource demands of DOD's space systems and today's budget environment, challenges that hinder these transitions must be addressed.
This statement focuses on (1) the current status and cost of major DOD space system acquisitions, and (2) challenges and barriers DOD faces in addressing future space-based mission needs. This statement highlights the results of GAO's work on space acquisitions over the past year and presents preliminary observations from ongoing work. We obtained comments from DOD on a draft of preliminary findings contained in this statement.
What GAO Recommends
Past GAO reports have generally recommended that DOD adopt best practices. DOD has generally agreed and taken actions to address these recommendations. Consequently, GAO is not making any recommendations in this statement.

Newly formed oncology company Clovis Oncology negotiated a deal potentially worth $380 million with Clavis Pharma for development and commercialization of the latter's Phase II-stage lipid-conjugated gemcitabine anticancer drug, CP-4126, in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Central and South America.
The companies also aim to collaborate on the development of a companion diagnostic to identify patients likely to benefit most from CP-4126.
Under terms of the deal, Norway-based Clavis will receive an up-front payment of $15 million, plus development, regulatory, and sales milestones of up to $365 million, and double-digit sales royalties. The company also retains an option to co-promote the drug in Europe and share European profits.
CP-4126 was developed using Clavis' Lipid Vector Technology and is designed to improve the therapeutic profile of gemcitabine so that it can enter cancer cells without requiring uptake by the hENT1 nucleoside transporter molecule. Gemcitabine is the current standard therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer, with estimated worldwide sales of some $1.7 billion 2008, Clavis reports.
Intravenous CP-4126 is currently undergoing a Phase II pancreatic cancer trial that is comparing overall survival in patients receiving either CP-4126 or gemcitabine. Clovis and Clavis are now amending the design of the international trial to increase the number of patients enrolled from 120 to 250. The trial will also categorize patients as to whether they express high or low levels of hENT1, to determine whether CP-4126 has particular survival benefits in the low-hENT1 group. An oral formulation of CP-4126 is currently undergoing a Phase I dose-escalating trial for various solid tumors.
"This strategic partnership for CP-4216, our second product under development, will enable us to focus resources on developing our portfolio further and provides great momentum toward building a successful oncology business," explains Geir Christian Melen, Clavis' CEO.
At the end of October, the EC granted intravenous CP-4126 orphan drug designation for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Orphan status for the drug has also been applied for in the U.S. The company maintains CP-4126 has potential utility in other cancers currently treated with gemcitabine, including lung, breast, ovarian, and bladder tumors.
Headquartered in Boulder, CO, Clovis was founded earlier this year by former executives of Pharmion, which was acquired by Celgene in 2008 for $2.9 billion. The new company has already raised $146 million in start-up financing from international investors. Clovis' business strategy is to license or acquire rights to oncology compounds in all stages of clinical development.

This may sound a little silly but my husband bought me a ROOMBA automatic carpet cleaner and I first I thought, "this is probably a piece of junk with shiny buttons...there's no way it can clean a carpet!" Well, much to my surprise ROOMBA actually does work. I love that I can turn it on, close the door (block off entries that I don't want it to go in or under) and let it do its thing. This saves me time and I think it's worth the purchase. Thiema"

I've used a breast-pump with all 3 of my kids and hated the fact that I couldn't do much else but sit on the couch and hold the silly things on. I started using the BustiBand and now I can put on my make-up, do my hair, read a book, get on the computer, make phone calls, I've even chopped veggies once (while pumping!). If you pump, be sure to use some sort of "hands-free" product. It will really make your life easier!!by petdocmom on 6th December 2010715Vote!
my favorite stress reducer is either cooking or working out... depending on the day ive had! on the HORRIBLE days, i can turn on my ipod & hit the gym to "run away" and on the less stressful days, getting in my kitchen & cooking is a place i can go & no one bothers meby dakotasmommy on 23rd December 2010708Vote!

My biggest daily lifesaver is making the school lunches at night. As big a pain as it is to make myself do it, I'm always so grateful that it's already done while I'm getting four kids ready for school in the morning.by jengray on 22nd December 2010689Vote!
One of the things I do when I get home from work is give the kids a snack and go into my bedroom for about a half hour and relax. I do this to give my mind a break and refocus before I tackle house chores, cooking, etc. Once I feel rejuventated I can do more than if I came home with frayed nerves.by Charvella Campbell on 12th June 2010669Vote!

Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl: Written by Herself, with ''A True Tale of Slavery'' by John S. Jacobs / Edition 3by Harriet Jacobs, H. Jacobs
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 11/30/2009
Publisher: Harvard
This enlarged edition of the most significant and celebrated slave narrative completes the Jacobs family saga, surely one of the most memorable in all of American history. John S. Jacobs's short slave narrative, A True Tale of Slavery, published in London in 1861, adds a brother's perspective to Harriet A. Jacobs's autobiography. It is an exciting addition to this now classic work, as John Jacobs presents further historical information about family life so well described already by his sister. Once more, Jean Fagan Yellin, who discovered this long-lost document, supplies annotation and authentication.
This is the standard edition of Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, reissued here in the John Harvard Library and updated with a new bibliography.

The Lake Chelan Valley is a relatively new wine destination, but don't let that fool you. This AVA has a rich tasting experience with many wineries along the shores of breathtaking Lake Chelan.
Tim McGraw performed a free concert in downtown Nashville for "Good Morning America" on the morning of the CMA Awards.

About two hours east of Seattle lays the small (faux) Bavarian village of Leavenworth filled with mountain splendor and Northwest recreation.
We kept seeing dogs dressed as the iconic "pizza rat" while in New York this past week. Since Seattle loves its pups (and a good meme), we thought we'd spread the creativity for this holiday weekend.
Beautiful fall days in Lake Chelan are laid back and filled with adventurous outdoor activities.

We all know Washington is beautiful - come on, just look outside on days like today! But what exactly are our Seven Hidden Wonders?You decide.
We faced our fear of heights by checking out two of the most popular suspension bridges in British Columbia: the Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver, BC and the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge in Squamish, BC.
From music and food to dancing and athletic events, there is plenty to see and do at the Scottish Highland Games.
We spent a glorious summer's day at the Washington Lavender Festival in Sequim eating great food, listening to cool bands and of course enjoying the beautiful sights and scents of the lavender fields.
Visiting the Hawaiian Islands is all about relaxing, but after a few days at the beach or pool it's time to get out and explore.

"I was given a copy of Yummy Baby by Jane…"
I was given a copy of Yummy Baby by Jane Clark when I first had my youngest daughter. It claims to be "The Essential First Nutrition Bible And Cookbook" but I was skeptical as this is my third baby and I have always made my childrens food myself and introduced them to healthy foods from an early age so I didn't really think this book would be able to tell me anything. How wrong I was!

I love this book. The photos are gorgeous, the information is superb and the recipes are delicious. I have made many recipes from this book and all have been successful and enjoyed by the whole family. The recipes aren't just for babies, children love them too, and there's even a section on late night suppers for mums and dads! Great!

This is a very dirty, noisy place. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. It needs a lot of improvement. It is located on the top of a pub and this pub closes at 12am so until it closes you can't sleep. The rooms and shared bathroom are really really dirty. The door that leads to the rooms is most of the time unlocked. The manager did return the whole money paid so I could find another place in a short notice.

You get what you paid for basically, because it's so cheap the majority of people live there so it's very fun.

Five things that need to be retired from pop culture in 2014
Here are some things that I'd like to see go away in 2014.
Most importantly, the selfie. Am I the only one who doesn't take them? I'm tired of all the duck faces, poses in front of mirrors and celebrities posting them on Instagram. Enough already!
I hope I never have to talk about twerking again, and for that matter, Miley Cyrus' tongue. I've heard Cyrus say she doesn't know what to do in pictures so she sticks out her tongue. Really? Learn a new trick, please.
Kimye, also known as Kim Kardashian and Kayne West. Personally, I'm just not interested in hearing about their lives anymore and I know I'm not alone in this. Kayne recently said he is tired of sticking his foot in his mouth, so he is not going to say anything negative for at least six months. Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it. Between naming their baby North West, Kayne's over the top wedding proposal and that "meant to be sexy" unsexy music video, I'm done with these two. Get married, have babies, whatever. Just get off the cover of every magazine!
I like the hashtag. I really do. But let's stop overhashtagging. Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon did a funny bit on "Saturday Night Live" on the overuse of hashtags. So they must agree that hashtags need to be applied more sparingly on social media.
Finally, I'm a Taylor Swift fan, but am I the only one tired of seeing her dance at awards shows? I get it, she knows the lyrics to every song in all different genres of music and she likes to get up and dance. No problem, Taylor. It's the awards show producers who keep showing you on camera, over and over and over again. In 2014 can we go for a different cut away shot? Please?
What would you like to see go away in 2014? I'd love to know and, of course, Happy New Year!

It's a rare for weather to affect campus life. Almost all days are sunny days on campus. Bring sunscreen.
Fortunately, I have never had a problem when dealing with the financial aid offices. However, it can be a real nightmare if they mess up your paperwork, which has happened to many people!
Greek Life:
Non-Greeks usually think little of the greek students. Greek students typically think they are above it all and expect different treatment. Greek life is big on campus, sorority greeks have dorm wings dedicated to their chapters, while frats recently got their housing replaced with a campus tail-gating area.
Never had to use the computer labs. Almost all professors will use the online services, it is essential to have wireless connection.
Off-Campus Housing:
Living off campus is great, if you can find an affordable rent. Most of the places walking/biking distance to campus are relatively pricey and have hidden fees, beware.
Campus Food:
It depends on where you decide to eat. The campus has multiple options of on-campus and off-campus dining. Each dining hall has a certain environment presence. For example, the honors hall caters to a more formal presence compared to the other laid back dining halls.
Overall Experience:
Given the opportunity to choose again, I would definitely pick Arizona State University. The atmosphere was a great place to grow independently and make new friends. Most of the professors where great mentors and the opportunities for work study, study abroad, clubs and leaderships roles were endless.
Campus Quality:
The campus has recently shifted in the direction of improving and making a priority for entrepreneurship. The campus is also expanding and upgrading multiple college facilities.
Campus Quality:
The campus is constantly upgrading to provide the latest facilities for their students. Recent additions include two new student recreational centers (main and downtown campuses), new bio-design structures, remodeled dorms and multiple lecture halls have been constructed.
Local Area:
Tempe is a great place. Friendly people, definitely a college atmosphere. The city has a lot of events that cater to the 21+ population.
Health & Safety:
Campus has tons of security check points with emergency phones, but I wouldn't walk alone at night across campus if I had to. Safety escort is available on campus.
The campus is a safe environment, they work hand in hand with the city police department. If you respect them, they respect you.
I have received scholarship for academics. I am happy with the scholarship to date!
Never assume parking is free. You will be ticketed and/or towed.
ASU police are pretty ridiculous at times. Though I have met reasonable officers, the majority of ASU police I have encountered are overly power hungry.
Off-Campus Housing:
Student oriented apartments, houses, condos, townhomes, etc. There are MANY options within 10 miles or less to campus.
Athletics are huge at ASU. ASU promotes health and wellness year round.
Campus Food:
There are dining spots throughout campus, with a wide range of food types. It is not difficult to grab a bite to eat in between classes.
Overall Experience:
To be short and sweet, I LOVE ASU for all that it is.
There are multiple free shuttles on and off campus. The city busses are useful, as well as the lightrail that is routed through the center of campus.
ASU supports people of all backgrounds. I believe diversity is an important aspect in ASU's mission as a university.
Aside from the 2-4 months of triple digit heat, the state of Arizona spends much of its year in the 55-85 degree range. Beautiful sunsets, as well as exciting monsoon storms.
Greek Life:
I am not a part of greek life.
Campus Quality:
ASU is constantly evolving and innovating. Within the past year and a half, we have added multiple shaded walkways topped with solar panels, constructed a brand new student recreation center, and additional business school building.
Campus Quality:
The campus and student life is stupendous here. On the main campus, students live in a true college town. Tempe Arizona is populated between August-May with over 80,000 students. The city has many 24-hour food spots, as well as delivery fast food chains. Events are constant, and include events in the surrounding cities. Students will not be let down to live here.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Arizona State is like no other university in the country. With a large, vibrant, and exciting student body that truly makes the campus unique, there is no arguing that ASU is by any means a boring place to be for the next four years of your life. As soon as you step onto ASU's campus, you will feel the immense amount of positive and exciting energy that gives you sense of belonging. Even though there are so many students around campus, you will be sure to find a niche to call your own. College is the time to find yourself and truly learn who you are as you prepare for the real world. ASU provides the perfect environment to challenge you to make "adult" decisions, and you won't always, but by the end of it all, you will mature into a dedicated individual!
Even though students will struggle with all-nighters, sports practice, parking tickets, and trying to recover from a great night, many of them couldn't ask for anything else. There will be times that you are drowning in homework and studying, but by the end of it all, you will look back and laugh. Your peers help you get through the tough times and make those social outings even more fun. ASU knows how to party hard, but when it comes to crunch time, we pull it off well. The kids here know how to have a great time, the nightlife and social settings are extremely fun, the academics are quite challenging—especially when you apply yourself and take it seriously—but most importantly, students will leave prepared for post-graduation and taking on the world. ASU is a fantastic place to meet new people and a great way to experience life in the great southwest. But don't take my word for it—come on out and experience it for yourself!
